Ex-Melbourne Police Chief Arrested For Racial Profiling Supports Mitt Romney
Ex-Melbourne Police Chief Frank Carter
supports the Mitt Romney for President campaign according to the Federal
Election Commission's donor database.
FEC
records show that Frank Carter donated $1,000 to the Mitt Romney for
President campaign in 2007, followed by another donation of $250 this
year.
The
former Police Chief dominated local headlines after he was arrested by
the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in 2010 for allegedly making
traffic stops based on racial profiling.
The
story carried over into 2011 when the State Attorney's Office dropped
the charges and Frank Carter was later permitted to keep his law
enforcement certification.
Frank Carter sued the City of Melbourne in May 2011. The lawsuit is still pending.
